same applymap() returns results in one table but not in another??

[ioannagr]

Hi all, something very weird is happening, that hasn't happened before.

My mapping load is this:

MapAnswer:
Mapping load * inline [
answer, answer1
0,'no'
1,'yes'
];

and then 

applymap('MapAnswer',answer,'-') as answers.

This applymap i have applied in another table that uses the field answer and it returns  correctly Yes,No,- .

However in another table all it returns is dashes (-) which is wrong as i look at the data. Note that the answer fields are integer (0,1)  in both tables.

Help???

@ioannagr  can you share a sample data ?

[ioannagr]

i don't know how to. @Taoufiq_Zarra 

But could you tell me, i suspect that the problem is that in another qvd i too have a field  called

applymap('MapAnswer',answer,'-')&concat(something) as answers 

Could it be the reason that  applymap('MapAnswer',answer,'-') as answers  shows me only dashes  in the table of interest?

Im confused though, as qvd creators drop tables, so no synthetic keys happen
